Book Description

Arabesque June 1, 2007
Welcome to Arabesque's At Your Service series featuring romance in the military service . . .

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

Air force fighter pilot Sydney Garret was born to fly. No other thrill came close enough to shake her -- until she met Captain James Colton and found a reckless passion that led to fifty-five hours together as husband and wife.

When they went their separate ways, Sydney's heart understood what her pride refused to admit -- that someday, somehow, fate would reunite them. But no one imagined that it would be a matter of life and death . . .

When Sydney's plane was shot down over enemy territory on a routine reconnaissance flight, James and his crew were deployed on a dangerous search-and-rescue operation where every second counted. But James was not only going in after one of the military's finest pilots -- he was also racing to save the woman he loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow and more wow!, July 23, 2011

This review is from: Blue Skies (Kindle Edition)
When I read the insert of this book I thought, this was going to be a boring read... the military? All I could think about was: by the book rules, uniforms and boring and rigid characters. But boy was I totally wrong! This was one of the best romance novels that I have read in a long time. It was intriguing, exciting, emotional, passionate and romantic. There was great character development and an even better plot that pulled me in to the end.

I loved how Miss Adrianne took us to the very beginning to when Sdy and Jett first met. She took us through their journey rather than tell us. The story goes back and forth between the past and the present. Once I was hooked to the present, I was taken to the past and once I was hooked to the past, I was taken to the present. It made for a sweet ride!

I was not disappointed or bored. Well... I was a little disappointed not because of the story but because of the grammatical errors I found throughout. Even though they did not take away from the story (because it was that good!), I felt there should never be any, especially with a wonderful author such as Adrianne Byrd.

Don't bypass this wonderful treasure of a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read, August 2, 2007
This review is from: Blue Skies (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am fast becoming an Byrd fan. The military plot adds to the richness of the romance. This is a great love story that does not go over the top with unreal story plots. Pick up this book you will not be sorry.
